From the reviews
My children have a great time at this place. Master is experienced and caring, which I think the kids feel as well, and kids learn taekwondo values like self-discipline, in addition to the physical health you would expect from practicing. Highly recommend!
Won's Taekwondo in Harrington Park has been an excellent choice for my child. The instructors tailor their teaching to each student's level, genuinely considering their individual needs. My child has gained confidence and discipline, and the classes are a perfect blend of fun and learning.
I believe that learning Taekwondo is about much more than simply learning martial arts techniques. It is a journey of self-discipline that teaches you how to respect and value yourself, while also learning respect, courtesy, and consideration for others.
My two children have been attending for about a year, and we’ve had a wonderful experience. The instructors truly care about the kids and focus on much more than just Taekwondo. They teach respect, discipline, confidence, and good character.
New to taekwondo? Start at Won’s Tae Kwon Do
Won’s Tae Kwon Do comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Won’s Tae Kwon Do
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
